in fact theweathering was quite simple... blistersponge technique... 3 different colours, then a bit metalmedium(valejo) and 2 different colours of pigments(valejo).... the mud is a simple mix of earth(my garden) for some texture, natural umber(valejo and a painting medium from valejo...bit messy but was worth the try!

probably I will have the time to finish it tomorow.

Sometimes things go wrong... and sometimes you just dont like what you do with your mini, thats the point where one has to decide either to go on...or to walk another path... I decided to walk another part so now my Champ is going to be a dark blue/grey and he has grown a beard somehow... ;-)

@Darth Potatoe:
Nope, its my ....shhhht.... "Special and secret mixture" ;-)

In fact it is a mix of Natural Umbra (Valeo Pigments) and some more yellowish Pigments from the same range Matt Medium( Velejo) and...welll... dried earth out of my garden for structure^^ so you see...quite simple

So... it has been quite a while, but here are some pics of my newest Project ( forgot to take pics of the older projects, sry for that, if I can I will do them later), as Tommy said they would make more sense over here... for reasons of simplicity, i will copy+paste the thread:
 

Hey mates,

finaly I got my hands on some of the HH Miniatures of the FW range, but not only some ordinary Minis, far from it!
Angron, Loken and Abaddon visited me last Week and thats why I started to build them, and afterwards I will paint them.

In time there will be the other Primarchs and important Characters in this thread too, so stay tuned and feel free to coment!

 

First,
I started building the base for the duel, I have to say, realy nice
work with tihs little piece of art, no mould failures to correct but...
well there was one thing I disliked about it... they send an oval base
with it, where one can place the debris-scene on... but it only fills
ca. 50% of the base!

Something I could not, would not stand in the
room, so I started to fill up the base with some kork(cork? dont know
the exact word sry)... it gained some height, what seemd legit in my
eyes, next step was cutting it in the right shape of the base and
building a smooth way between base and scenery...

The 2nd step was
to think about the many tiny details the base has... skulls, skeletons,
helmets, debris, parts of walls, pipes and so on and how to copy the
grade of detail for the self builded part, but(!!!) without overloading
it!
While unpainted it may not seem to look as it could distract from
the minis in the end but there´s quite a lot of stuff on the base...
thats why i decided to do a bit less stuff.

Right now, there are
some self sculpted broken wallparts and bricks 2 skulls from the secret
weapons range, a solitary boltgun and a broken pipe... oh yes and a
shoulderpad on the backside, plus a mix of sand/earth to cover the cork.

It
was at that point of progress I realised I have to cover all of the
premade earth of  the base too because it would look quite strange to
paint it so that will be the next step.

http://s1.directupload.net/images/130629/phh2pv6y.jpg

http://s1.directupload.net/images/130629/sxnxk8zl.jpg

 

My ideas for the next steps:
-more broken walls?

-perhaps a half burried Space Marine?

-some more pipes or rods?

-parts of armor/discarded weapons?

 

And the Update:

http://s7.directupload.net/images/130702/t822oght.jpg

 

http://s1.directupload.net/images/130702/jkms6j2m.jpg

 

So you see until now there is no burried marine but I´m working on that problem, I promise!

 

 

If you have some ideas, comments or critics let them be heard
right now my brothers in arms... brushes... whatever! Feel free to say
what you think!

 

stay tuned !

disease I wasnt able to go to work for some days, and managed to to some
seariously hobby stuff instead... not only build a Marine here, or

So... it has been a long long time since i posted something hobby conected, and thats simply because... well I wasnt able to do anything hobby conected for more than a year now.
I have had a quite unpleasent accident at work( a rack hit my face with aprox. 120 Kilo weight behind that punch) and as an aftermath a broken Cheekbone and  had the softer contents of my head a little bit tossed aroud in the inside, with the long time effect that i could keep my hands steady for long.
this resultet in a bunch of ruined miniatures, several frustraded, raging explosions, some FW Casts that colided with walls until i decided, quite heavyhearted, that I could not do this hobby anymore and I packed all my stuff into boxes, and it went down into the cellar.
 

A good friend of mine noticed all of this, how the lack of the hobby I have been participating for over 16 years, changed my general mood( I became quite depressed, and well lets say I havent been the nicest guy since this happened), and so he...well... forced me to restart and gifted me with the Betrayal at Calth Box last year.
I was tempted to kill him for rubbing that much salt in my wounds but... I was also tempted to try again... learn how to blend again, how to weather and so on, and after another pile of ruined miniatures and several flying objects that never were meant to fly, I suppose I am now ready to start sharing my progress with you again!

I will start with the Cataphracti of the new Betrayal at Calth Box and simply because I realy realy like the colours... I start a Sons of Horus army

Hopefully the results wont be to bad ( if I start remembering how to put up pictures here... xD ) and by this Time on wednesday there should be some progress on the first 5 Guys( planing at least one 10 guys squad of them... after all I own Abadon and he needs some protection :D ) that i can share with you!

So long... cya!

Hey WP, sorry to hear about your accident, glad to see you're on the mend! Only just come across your post - absolutely love the weathering / worn look of your WE and tanks. Expect great things from your sons of horus. Keep at it!

It is always awesome to see someone return to the hobby after a long time of inactivity, even if you've never met them before. It is even more awesome when that someone starts a heresy army, and even better on top of all that, when said heresy army is the same as your own.

 

I can't wait to see some brand new painted models in here, especially if they're Sons of Horus. 

 

Oh, and one more thing... Welcome to the heresy train, it has no brakes.

So... a bit later than thought( had some Job interviews to do, cause hobby isnt paying itself at the moment without comission works ;-) ) and a little bit different things than I wanted to show in the start but... here we go:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/cloihsf8.jpg

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/gx9jjme9.jpg

 

The Terminator Praetor of the B@C Box, I will use him as a Seargent for a regular Cataphracti Squad, so nothing that special in any case, started to do some mud on his cloak and boots
( will add more after he got his final base, to blend him in a bit more, still have to do the wathering on the green armour parts and a bit other stuff...

Then we have the first member of my Seeker Squad:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/vgpq3oqt.jpg
nothing specail, not quite finished and a realy bad pic but... I´d say better than nothing so far.

Was more or lest a test to see if I like where the Colours are taking me and not so much weatherd, that will come with the other squads, i promise!

Last but not least... we have two Contemptor Cybots that WILL look like they have breached through an entire army in the End:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/6onf36ae.jpg

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/99udhvqb.jpg

As you may see... the secret lies under these ugly Blobs on the armour... ;-)

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/ds5f4src.jpg

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160218/temp/77vhitae.jpg

 

Next step: a few freehands or decals if I can find them, some dust washes with pigments, oil and rust stains, details... well stuff to do!

 

 

Hopefully I did remember right how to add pictures and the next ones I will cut down to only show the relevant things, I promise!

 

Keep it up Brothers!

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160222/avknltcp.jpg

 

He, like the other 2 Moritats, and the Destroyers will be having a weathered  black Armour, left Pauldron( is that the word for the shoulder armour?) red with a Destroyer Symbol, right shoulder SoH Legion Symbol and some kind of Companynumber( decided that they belong to the 20th Company of 16th Legion) batch thingy...stuff... oh...and they all have MK IV Jumppacks...

 

This one is going to war with 2 Boltpistols as you will see in the next update.
